Waiting until Monday will drop you down to $199++ each way, which is still more than CO has on your desired dates.
I get that it is discretionary travel. All the more reason to be price sensitive and go with the least expensive option, right? Or is there some additional value that you'd be willing to quantify in the form of a higher fare to fly B6 on that weekend?
I get the impression that B6 is nicer and has more legroom. I'm 6'2". I am willing to pay more to fly B6 and get a nonstop flight, but $600 is a bit pricey.
It is not that I am not able to pay $600 for a flight, many can do that, just plunder your 401K. The point is: does it makes sense?
